Maladaptive evolution or how a beneficial mutation may get lost due to nepotism

Irith Aloni, Amiyaal Ilany

Summary: The unique social system of spotted hyenas may inhibit the establishment of beneficial mutations, but this negative effect can potentially be counteracted by females' random choice of mates.

How to Get Started with Single Cell RNA Sequencing Data Analysis

Michael S. Balzer, Ziyuan Ma, Jianfu Zhou, Amin Abedini, Katalin Susztak

Summary: Single cell methods have advanced significantly in the past few years, enabling the monitoring of gene and protein expression changes in individual cells. However, data analysis remains a critical bottleneck. This review provides an overview of commonly used analytical tools in the field to help researchers understand challenges and gain insights into typical readouts from single cell datasets in published literature.

How to get rid of itching

Ashley Vander Does, Teresa Ju, Noreen Mohsin, Divya Chopra, Gil Yosipovitch

Summary: Itch can be caused by various factors, including skin diseases, neuropathy, systemic conditions, and psychogenic factors. The underlying etiologies involve different pathways, and there are identified itch mediators and receptors that present potential targets for therapy. Recent research has focused on targeting inflammatory cytokines, Janus kinase signaling, protease-activated receptors, substance P and neurokinin, transient receptor potential-vanilloid ion channels, Mas-related G-protein-coupled receptors (MRGPRX2 and MRGPRX4), the endogenous opioid and cannabinoid balance, and phosphodiesterase 4. Further exploration of periostin as a pruritogen through clinical trials is needed. Drugs targeting neural sensitization, such as the gabergic system and P2X3, may also be potential treatments for chronic itch. There is a need for more targeted therapies to improve clinical outcomes and minimize side effects.

Lost in the woods: Forest vegetation, and not topography, most affects the connectivity of mesh radio networks for public safety

Eloise G. Zimbelman, Robert F. Keefe

Summary: This study evaluates the connectivity of mesh networking devices and predicts connectivity using lidar and satellite remote sensing data. The results show that vegetation-related metrics have a greater impact on connectivity. The study suggests that remote sensing data can be used to forecast the connectivity of real-time mesh networks, which is important for wildland firefighting, forestry, and public safety applications.

Summary: The concept of net-zero carbon emissions is rooted in physical climate science but is operationalized through social, political, and economic systems. Seven critical attributes have been identified for the successful implementation of net zero, emphasizing the urgency of emission reductions, coverage of all emission sources, cautious use of carbon dioxide removals, and alignment with broader sustainable development objectives.

How to get reliable oxygen transmission rate values for coated cardboards?

Emma Pigneres, Allison Vercasson, Sebastien Gaucel, Fanny Coffigniez, Nathalie Gontard, Helene Angellier-Coussy, Valerie Guillard

Summary: Coated papers are being used as alternatives to petroleum-based plastics in the packaging industry, providing better food preservation due to the barrier properties of the coating layer. However, when characterizing the oxygen transmission rate of coated cardboards, an edge effect has been observed, leading to inaccurate OTR values that can impact food preservation. This study highlights the importance of avoiding edge effects and suggests that different methods may be required depending on the equipment and sample properties.

Soft coring: How to get a clarinet out of a flute?

Frederic Lechenault, Iyad Ramdane, Sebastien Moulinet, Martin Roman-Faure, Matteo Ciccotti

Summary: Cutting mozzarella with a dull blade results in poorly shaped slices due to the deformation during the cutting process. Through the example of coring, we study the morphogenetics arising from this process, where the large transverse expansion leads to the clarinet-shape of the extracted core. By considering fracture mechanics and large strain theory, we develop a simple quantitative understanding of the observed discrepancy, which occurs when the punch size is smaller than a characteristic length scale. Material nonlinearity and friction also play a crucial role in this phenomenon.

Marcel Alguero, Aritra Biswas, Bernat Capdevila, Sebastien Descotes-Genon, Joaquim Matias, Martin Novoa-Brunet

Summary: We discuss the impact of recent updates from LHCb and CMS on the lepton-flavour universality ratios R-K and R-K*, as well as B(B-s -> mu(+) mu(-)) in b -> sl(+) l(-) decays. Using the Weak Effective Theory, we perform global fits of the New Physics Wilson coefficients at the b-quark mass. We compare different frameworks to identify differences in the analysis components.

Nanotherapeutics in transplantation: How do we get to clinical implementation?

Leah Plumblee, Carl Atkinson, Dinesh Jaishankar, Evan Scott, Gregory T. Tietjen, Satish N. Nadig

Summary: Patients undergoing organ transplantation have to deal with the lifelong commitment of immunosuppression after transitioning from organ dysfunction. The use of nanoparticles has emerged as a solution to the issues associated with long-term and systemic use of immunosuppressive agents in transplantation. This minireview describes the role of nanoparticles in organ transplantation and discusses obstacles to clinical implementation and pathways to clinical translation.

Summary: The study found that a 6-day continuous peripheral nerve block can reduce phantom limb pain and improve physical and emotional dysfunction in patients for at least 1 month. Patients who received local anesthesia showed better improvement in overall impression of change and reduction in pain-induced physical and emotional dysfunction, but not in depression scores.

Molecular Modification of Transient Receptor Potential Canonical 6 Channels Modulates Calcium Dyshomeostasis in a Mouse Model Relevant to Malignant Hyperthermia

Brian M. Ilfeld, James C. Eisenach, Rodney A. Gabriel

Summary: The study demonstrates that overexpressing a nonconducting TRPC6 channel can partially ameliorate the imbalance of calcium and sodium in muscle caused by RYR1 variants, prolonging survival time during halothane exposure, but is not sufficient to prevent the lethal effects of exposure to volatile anesthetic malignant hyperthermia-triggering agents.

Summary: Randomized clinical trials have shown the efficacy of opioid analgesics in pain management, but they also come with significant risks. Efforts to reduce their use are ongoing, with IMMPACT providing recommendations for opioid-sparing clinical trial design. These recommendations aim to guide the design, conduct, analysis, and interpretation of future trials.

Preliminary results from a randomized, controlled, cross-over trial of intrathecal oxytocin for neuropathic pain

James C. Eisenach, Regina S. Curry, Timothy T. Houle

Summary: This study compared the effects of intrathecal oxytocin and placebo on neuropathic pain and mechanical hyperalgesia. The results showed that oxytocin reduced pain intensity more than placebo, but also increased the hyperalgesic area. Although limited by the small sample size, further research on spinal oxytocin in this population is warranted.

Systemic administration of a β2-adrenergic receptor agonist reduces mechanical allodynia and suppresses the immune response to surgery in a rat model of persistent post-incisional hypersensitivity

Vipin Arora, Carlos Eduardo Morado-Urbina, Young S. Gwak, Renee A. Parker, Carol A. Kittel, Enriqueta Munoz-Islas, Juan Miguel Jimenez-Andrade, E. Alfonso Romero-Sandoval, James C. Eisenach, Christopher M. Peters

Summary: Activation of Beta 2 adrenergic receptors has been shown to alleviate postoperative mechanical hypersensitivity, with more significant effects in depleted rats. Treatment with clenbuterol can reduce mechanical hypersensitivity, but has no significant impact on the speed of postoperative recovery. The study suggests that Beta 2 adrenergic receptors play a regulatory role in postoperative hypersensitivity in the nervous system.
